Based on the snaps from motor1.com, the still heavily disguised test mule all but mirrors the example pictured three months ago, though with the headlights turned on. As before, the prototype also came outfitted with a series of pre-production body panels and blacked-out alloy wheels, with the overall exterior appearance reported to be more of an evolution over that of the current model.
Underneath, the Captur will be underpinned by the same CMF-B platform as the next generation Clio and current Nissan Micra, with motivation set to come from a new 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, the 1.3-litre four-cylinder co-developed with Daimler and already being used in the Nissan Qashqai, Dacia/Renault Duster Renault Kadjar and Mercedes-Benz A-class and B-class, and a reworked 1.5 dCi turbodiesel.
Expect more details to emerge in the coming months leading up to the Captur’s rumoured debut in mid-2019.
